《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 23.1
Advertisement
The person in the memory had exactly the same face as Chi Xin and was from the original body.
Chi Xin struggled to identify everybody until she finally recognized herself in the crowd. Among humans and zombies, Chi Xin's face was clean but showed an exaggerated panicked and frightened expression, which made Chi Xin somewhat envious.
She had never seen such an expression on herself.
She soon realized this scene was when the original Chi Xin had abandoned Yu Xiang in a tide of corpses. After Jiang Congyun had rescued him and found him medicine, she had stolen her credit; the original Chi Xin had accompanied the unconscious Yu Xiang only to be regarded as his savior afterward.
Ah, was that what the Zombie King was calling a gift? Wow, so generous.
When this misunderstanding in the movie had been revealed, it had been accompanied by a few simple flashbacks. Now was the first time Chi Xin was witnessing the whole incident and as she watched it with gusto, she couldn't help but curse the screenwriter's logic.
Even if Yu Xiang hadn't known who had saved him, the original Chi Xin had managed to take the credit? Had the others just listened to Yu Xiang and never doubted it a single moment? No character had felt there had been any problem...
Seeing her teammates' shocked expressions, Chi Xin mentally prepared herself for the upcoming accusations. Although this incident had been exposed later in the movie, it had now happened and she shouldn't be afraid.
After all, she wasn't really the one who had abandoned Yu Xiang.
But after spending some time with him, she had realized Yu Xiang really valued her savior. Chi Xin couldn't help but be disappointed to not be able to quarrel with him in the future.
She quickly came back to her senses. She was still tied up to the troublesome system and it would be better for her to not get too genuinely attached to these characters.

Chi Xin mentally got ready and drafted a few speeches in her heart. She should be able to respond to any questions and disappointment from her team.
Everything should be fine.
But as she calmed herself down, the system sounded.
[Ding! Ding! The system has detected the host has made a serious mistake. The host did not grasp the perfect opportunity to cause trouble and will be deducted 30 points as a warning.]
[I repeat, the host has been deducted 30 points of trouble value as a warning.]
Chi Xin was shocked. Her ears started ringing and she wondered if it was an echo from the system's notification. And she didn't know whether she was imagining it or not, but she could swear she could hear gloating and excitement from the dog system's tone.
She inhaled deeply and looked at her points. Two bright red numbers flashed in her mind: 55.
Chi Xin's eyes darkened. Her indifferent expression suddenly changed and became slightly grim.
Chi Xin: I will kill this system.
When the others were done going through the memory, they all looked at Chi Xin with complex expressions, only to become stunned when they saw her murderous mood.
Yu Xiang hesitated: "Chi Xin, this Lou Chen distorted the memory. We didn't want to see that, calm down."
Chi Xin's angry figure froze: "Distorted the memory?"
"This can only be fake." Chen Xing scratched his head, "How can only a few zombies be enough to scare Sister Chi?"
Chi Xin was startled again.
"Too weak." With only two words, Rong Feng drew his own conclusion.
Yu Xiang nodded in agreement: "At least, he should have made Chi Xin kill a few zombies before forgetting to save me... It would have been more credible."

Chi Xin's trouble value had been deducted below the pass line and the Zombie King had disappeared. She stared blankly at the three men who didn't look like they were distrusting her in the slightest.
She had thought of many scenarios but had not expected they would just choose to believe her without reservation.
But...
Chi Xin shifted her gaze to Jing Xiubai and Jiang Congyun. This memory had been personally experienced by Jiang Congryun and she knew the truth, yet was now apprehensively locking her gaze with Chi Xin's.
Chi Xin: No, why are you so nervous? Sister, this is obviously my fault.
Chi Xin looked at Jing Xiubai. They glanced at each other and as if he hadn't seen her anxiety, he said in a calm voice: "The mission is over, let's go back to the base."
Chi Xin: ...
She watched the team getting ready to go back home. Yu Xiang turned around and frowned: "What about her?"
Han Yiyi was holding her knees under a tree. She had grown a few leaves around her that were covering her tightly.
Upon hearing Yu Xiang's words, she immediately got out of her green shield and ran to the group.
"I... I'm human! I am not injured or bitten! Take me back, don't leave me here!"
"Should we?"
"No."
"Although she is being controlled..."
The team started discussing Han Yiyi's issue. Chi Xin was still bewildered by the whole situation and her mind was going into overdrive.
Only Jiang Congyun was still looking at her. She watched Chi Xin glance at her and walked towards her.
"Don't say anything, let them believe it's fake. It doesn't matter." Jiang Congyun blinked, "Anyway, with your strength, you can save Yu Xiang a hundred times over. At that time... you must have had a reason to hide but no I don't doubt a second you would not save him anymore."
Jiang Congyun smiled with a relaxed expression: "I want us to be a team."
Was this okay?
Chi Xin couldn't tell whether she was just too strong or whether these characters were too simple. But at this moment, she seemed to see the true kindness and beauty of Jiang Congyun.
Jing Xiubai looked back at them and realized Chi Xin was dwelling on the memory. He came to her and said: "Lou Chen seems to have taken all the zombies with him. It's safe here now."
He looked at Chi Xin: "There is a convenience store on the way, we can stop and see if they have any detergent left."
Chi Xin had not expected the hero would talk about laundry at this time. She looked down at the blood sticking to her body and almost choked.
And seeing their trusting eyes, Chi Xin couldn't help but wonder how they would react if she really admitted she had abandoned Yu Xiang at that time. Would anyone cry?
